What is garment Tech Pack or Spec

March 15, 2018 Engr. Md. Mustak Ahmed Accessories, Business, CAD, Fashion, Merchandising

Tech pack is an important sheet or paper where the designer create tech pack by illustration with all necessary information to make the desire product. It’s also known as spec by relevant people.This is like a contract paper for buyer and manufacturer, where they put all necessary information how they want that garments and send it to the responsible merchandiser. The buyer place all those information how they want that garments. Buyer send tech pack or spec separately for each and every garments. Now in single sentence we can say that is tech pack is an instruction paper for making garment.

What is include in tech pack?

Tech pack is all about design, garment measurement and direction; how the garment need to produce.

Technical sketch of garments (Back, Front, Sleeve, neck, Hemp, and all required projection).
Garment’s proper image with measurement point.
Fabric Construction details (fabric type, fiber type, fiber percentage).
List of fabric, trims, materials, color, grading (Material source or supplier if required).
Size chart and ratio breakdown.
Artwork for prints, embroideries, patterns, labels, etc.
Packaging instruction.
Label dimension, fabrication, placement, text size and description.

Garment Sketch & Article Summary

How tech pack reduce time consumption in production industry?

Before place a production order to a garments manufacturer by buyer need a pre-production sample (PP Sample) as they can acquaint the production ability of any factory. Without any tech pack or special instruction none of any company can makes sample perfectly. They’ll have to make more and more PP sample and submit to the buyer for approval. It’ll take so much time to make exact sample which buyer looking for. In that case too much time required to approve one sample by buyer, time in money in production industry. If Sample department follow buyers tech pack or spec than may be they’ll be able to make desire sample on time and reduce the consumption of time which is way to save money.

Why garments manufacturer does required tech pack?

Tech pack indicate the way to produce the garment, in that case you’ll find the almost each and every essential information to complete garments production on that particular style or design. Designer build a strong communication with manufacturer how the garments need to complete.

How do you make a tech pack?

Most of the time designer used Adobe Illustrator software to make design or dedicated garments design software. Some time they follow some design template which can be downloaded from internet. If you want to make this kind of design you may follow any kind of methods to do your own design. Personally I use Adobe illustrator software which used most of the designing or advertisement media. Illustrator makes vector file so you would be able to print your design large size if you want.

Problem of Tech Pack

When any designer create a particular garments design; Designer doesn’t have much idea about pattern & marker making. In that case sometime designer need to amend the design by discussing with technical team as per save consumption of fabric.

Conclusion

Everything about Spec is not possible to describe in any article, but I tried my best to show you as much as possible by a few lines. You might be get different situation during work. But all about tech pack is same as I described. Did I missed something that you want to share? Then don’t hesitate to place your opinion on below comment box.

Distinguish between rotors & ring spinning frame.

December 4, 2015 Engr. Md. Mustak Ahmed Accessories, Machinery, Spinning

Spinning is a process where yarn makes from cotton or something else by twisting though spinning frame machine. There are a few types of spinning machine are used around the world but we will discuss about most used machine like rotor spinning frame and ring spinning frame. Every modern machine has history which created by conventional machine. Modern machine is an upgrade version of conventional machine. Remove some unusual parts of machine & using some latest mechanical or electrical technology; speed up the machine and finally got the modern machine.

Ring spinning frame

Rotor spinning frame

01	Rotor spinning frame is modern spinning system machine	01	Ring spinning frame is conventional spinning system machine
02	This machine makes yarn by high drafting from sliver.	02	This machine makes yarn by lower pressure than rotor spinning frame from roving.
03	The working speed of rotor spinning frame is faster than ring spinning frame.	03	The working speed of ring spinning frame is lower than ring spinning frame.
04	Usually rotor spinning frame produced lower count yarn.	04	This machine can produce from low count yarn to high count yarn.
05	Basically the raw material of this machine is low quality. Means low grade cotton.	05	Relatively this machine used high grade cotton to produce yarn.
06	Temperature and moisture of cotton should be controlled to produce yarn by rotor spinning frame.	06	No need to control temperature and moisture of cotton to produced yarn by ring spinning frame.
07	Room temperature should be controlled in 20 to 28 C on spinning room.	07	Its better if the room temperature controlled in 28 to 35 C.
08	Only one drafting system is available on this machine so there are now break draft in this machine.	08	Darting system is split in two divisions called main draft and break draft.
09	Twisting and winding process work separately in rotor spinning frame.	09	Twisting and winding process work with each other.
10	Production of rotor spinning frame is more than ring spinning frame.	10	Production of ring spinning frame is less than rotor spinning frame
11	Consumption of electricity is less than ring spinning frame.	11	Consumption of electricity is more than rotor spinning frame.
12	The ratio of breakage yarn is less than ring spinning frame.	12	The ratio of breakage yarn more than rotor spinning frame.
13	Production sound or noise is less than ring spinning frame.	13	Production sound or noise of the machine is more than ring rotor spinning frame.
14	The produced yarn package large.	14	The produced yarn package is small.
15	A few labor or technician can produce or maintain rotor spinning machine.	15	Ring spinning machine required more than ring spinning frame machine.
16	Rotor spinning frame produced balanced yarn.	16	Ring spinning frame produced less balanced yarn.
17	Trash less cotton is perfect for make yarn balanced so always used cotton should less trash cotton.	17	Comparability this machine can produce yarn from maximum amount of trash full cotton.

Discussion of different trimming

August 21, 2015 Engr. Md. Mustak Ahmed Accessories, Fashion, Garments

During finishing the garment some of external elements are sewing/ sticky with cloth to increase the beauty. Some of trimmings also used to complete the dress because those dress is not useful until the essential trimmings are absence. there are too many trimmings are used in garments technology like frills, Trucks, Pleats, Gathers, Smocking, Embroidery, Painting etc. most of the trimmings are available on open market as someone can easily get it and used in there garments.

Discussion of different trimming

Let’s have a short description of trimmings:

Nylon Lace

This is made from nylon finer this is one of synthetic fiber made lace. Usually this lace is heat proof or non heat proof. This kind of lace is 1 cm to 12 cm width. Netor plain weave is used to sticky with fabric. This lace can be embroiled over netor plain of nylon fiber.

Cotton Hacoba Lace

Cotton Embroiled lace is straight or cut work edge. This lace is white or pastel color which is embroidery on a white color dress and the embroidery thread is cotton, terrene.

Ribbon pass Lace

This lace is made from cotton or nylon fiber which is not stitched with general sewing machine because this lace has too many hole and a ribbon as it can pass into those holes to sticky with the dress.

Insertion Lace

The upper and the lower edges of the lace cannot be distinguished. It is usually stitched on between two tiers of a dress.

Edging Lace

This lace is made from cotton or nylon fiber whose edge is finished. This lace is stitched on the edge of the garments. Upper edge is straight and the lower edge has a cut design.

Beading Lace

A lone one edge of the lace, beading has been done. This lace can be stitched in between the panels.

Ric Rac Lace

It can be stitched on the garments of in between the panels of the garments, showing only one side of the lace.

Tussle Lace

It is usually make of silken, untwisted threads of nylon threads.

Fringe

This is nylon fiber lace, usually stitched on curtains and other furnishing items. It has hanging threads of equal length, placed at equal distance.

Embroiled Tape

Embroider tape is a technology where the design is made from sewing technique. Where the thickness of sewing; can be 1 cm to as much as customer required. This embroidery designs can be floral or geometrical.

Ribbons

Nylon ribbons are broader while those of satin can be narrower stain ribbons can be dotted, printed etc.

Braids

This is interwoven plait of silken or metallic threads, Stitched on formal wear garments of ladies and men. These braids can be of one colored or two colored

Beaded lace

This lace is stitched on formal wear dresses of ladies.

Rope

These are stitched by couching. This lace is stitched on formal wear dresses of ladies.

Piping’s

It is a pipe like ornament along seams of clothes. It can be plain or printed. It is cut on the bias grain.

Shuttle Lace

Shuttle is a boat shaped weaving implement of which weft thread is shot across between warp, threads. It wears a lace with terrene threads. This lace is made with knots of warp and weft threads.

Elastic Lace

This is a lace with thin stretchable elastic bands which makes the elastic lace stretchable. It is woven with nylon thread. This lace is stitched along the under garments.

Pon Pom

These are woolen balls of carious diameters. These soft balls are stitched of strings attached to infant clothes.

Smocked Lace

This lace has rows of smocking on the upper edge. The lower can be plain or cut designs. This is seen on casual and formal wear garments of children and ladies.

Gathered lace:

One edge of this lace is gathered, hence giving the lace a frill like look.

Discussion about different type of splice

February 13, 2015 Engr. Md. Mustak Ahmed Accessories, Fabric, Garments, Machinery

Discussion about different type of splice

During the fabric spreading process, if the fault detector machine gets any fault or damage on the fabric then the fabric must be cut by width and start spreading from the edge of fabric already spread by overlapping. This kind of overlapping is called splice. Generally overlapping or splice is signed in marker.

Discussion about different type of splice

though this article suppose to describe different type of splice but in the reality there are two different type of splice according to the garments industry. splice is a technique which is help spreading fabric on the spreading table for the it perfect shape as it can sewing and get the desire garments product.

Two types of splice

Straight line splice

Straight line splice is pointed width with a straight line on the spreading table to show the fabric edge. Pattern is stick with both side of straight line into marker. Fabric spreading is starting with 2 inch of fabric extra on splice line positions.

Interlock splice

This kind of splice is hang two straight line with is add into a specific point. At first this marker design is draw on the marker table by chalk. Interlock splice is defined two interlock pattern in the two different lines. As like as the straight splice this splice also take extra 2 inch fabric on overlapping position.

Definitions of Different types of fabric’s lay & packages.

December 16, 2014 Engr. Md. Mustak Ahmed Accessories, Fabric, Fashion, Garments, Machinery

Let’s have a discuss about Definitions of Different types of fabric’s lay & packages.

Tow type of lay according to primary method.

Different types of fabrics lay & package .

According to structure of fabric

Straight lay

This type of lay are spread the spreading measurement by the full length of marker

Stepped lay

These types of fabrics are spread without follow full length of marker. As a result these types of fabrics lay are spread of step by step. Because of being step by step using of that marker is different type of marker. Too many fabrics are west to make garment by using this technique and it’s a little critical to use, so day by day it’s loosing its popularity.

According to fabric spreading way

Spreading lay from right to left

This technique is suitable for high length and open fabric. Every time of after spreading this technique are required to cut the fabric and start spreading from where it was cute. This is the reason every time these spreading machines start spreading from starting place.

Spreading lay from left to right.

The working technique of spreading lay from left to right is as same as right from left. Different is this technique are required to turn over the fabric lay after complete the spreading.

Zigzag lay

This methods are start the spreading from a starting point and go to the end point of spreading and its come back to the starting point without cut the fabric. Today this kind of techniques is so much popular spreading technique around the world but is methods can make the problem for asymmetric fabric.

According to the package of fabric.

Open fabric roll

Open fabric roll is most popular fabric packaging method from all of fabric packaging methods. Without any fold this technique can methods can package more than 100 miters cloth which width can be 75 cm to 3 miters. To hand spreading and machine spreading is able to spread this roll.

Tubular fabric roll

Most of the knitted fabric are packaging by folded fabric roll. Basically the tubular knit fabric roll is making by the width measurement of t-shirt or sports cloth. Spreading machine is need to spreading this fabric.

Folded fabric roll

The middle point the fabrics are fold and packaging by a board which is perfect to retail business. These types of fabric package are not useable in garments because machine spreading is not possible to do. So this method is limited usage in present.

Folder fabric scuttled

This technique is suitable for check and knitted fabric. To make this fabric takes a little more carefulness to make sure this fabric without any invalid fold but this package are make by the kink of the edge of fabric. Spreading of this fabric is so much hard so machine spreading is so much important for this method.

Hanging fabric package.

Most valuable and expensive fabric is package by hanging fabric package like velvet fabric. This method makes sure the fabric is hanging in a frame to keep it without any crease. This packages fabric is spreading by labor. It’s not able to spread by machine

Discussions of the methods of fabric spreading

Discussions of the methods of fabric spreading

Fabric spreading is so much important part of a garments industry to cut the fabric and sewing properly and proper shape. After spread the fabric, it’s ready to cut and make them desire look. Without spreading fabric not possible cut so many pieces of cloth at a time which way is important in garments industry.

Basically most of the fabric are import in garments industry in a few different package and roll shape. Those fabric roll and package are unpacking by spreading on the cutting table like lay and make it ply one by one.

Two types of methods to makes lay by spreading fabrics.

Manual methods
- Fully Hand spreading this method is working by two people who are working from two different side of spreading table by hand or spreading fabric on the table by crossing a rod in to the tube in the center of roll of fabric. This spreading process a little slow and not so much finished and quality full.
- Hand spreading with hook.This method also a part of manual process called hand process with hook because this process is a little different from hand process with a little extra material called hook. Which is made from iron and this tool looks like an English alphabet “J”. This method has a little advantage than hand process.
- Hand spreading with spreading track
  Spreading track is a special tool for hand process. Tracks carry the roll of fabric and spread on the spreading table by changing this position from front to the end of the spreading table. This method is working by two people who are working from two different side of spreading table by handling the track tools and spread the fabric on the table. The basic three condition of making a lay of fabric are not include in following manual methods.
Mechanical methods
- Semi Automatic spreading
  Semi automatic machine is working almost similar to Hand process with spreading track process because this methods working technique and working prouder are same but this process are working by electric motor. A roll of fabric are installed in the machine like Hand process with spreading track and this roll are spreading on spreading table automatically. The spreading machine are running on the spreading table by from one side too another side by electrical and mechanical power.The advantage of semi automatic machine
  - The machine has the ability automatically count the ply of fabric.
  - After cut the fabric the machine has the ability to catch the edge of fabric.
  - This machine has a special tool called inspection light which is check ant kind of fault in fabric.
  - To salvage alignment this machine has a photoelectric guide.
  - The machine has the ability automatically cut the ply of fabric.
  - The opening up of fabric from roll is positive & there is a regulator to adjustment the spreading and opening up fabric speed.
  - The facility to maintain the tension of fabric is including in this machine.
  - To make the surface plain has a toll are called leveling blade.
  - A platform is installed with the head of the machine for operator to seat and operate the machine.
  - This machine can spread three miter of fabric and this machine can carry from 80 KGs to 675 KGs.
  - This machine can spread 100 miter fabrics per minute.
  - 25 CM lay can be makes by this machine.
- Fully Automatic spreading
  Fully automatic machine is upgrade version of Semi Automatic. This machine has the all of quality which is included in Semi Automatic. Full automatic machine has some special feature are makes it more special. Fully automatic machine is maintained by robot and micro processors.The additional advantage of fully automatic machine are given blew.
  - This machine can be directed or fixes how many ply have to spread before start spreading.
  - This machine is working by robotic technique so if the fabric roll gone empty then this machine get another new roll automatically without any human power and start again spread where it was ended.
  - There is a sensor in front of head. This sensor marks the fault area of any fabric and automatically cut the fabric width and stat again spreading.
  - Every type of fabric is able to spread and its can makes every type of lay.
  - This is automatic spreading machine so its can work so many faster then others spreading methods.
